Political Ideology of Programmers

The relation between ideologies and favourite programming languages
was surveyed during first half of 2010. The results are mildly surprising. There are fewer conservatives than extreme
rightists. There are more classical liberals or libertarians than in general population. As leftist ideologies slightly
prevail, it appears that libertarians expand primarily on account of conservatives, compared to general population.
There is little difference between those who prefer statically and dynamically typed languages. Lispers are relatively more
(classical) liberals, but also more extremists than other programmers: there are more socialists and extreme rightists among
Lisp programmers. The "median voter" is "moderate leftist" for programmers in general, and "left libertarian" (USA terms) or "social liberal" (European terms)
for Lispers.
